Racing Point entered its three-week shutdown on Wednesday, meaning the team is currently scheduled to return to work on April 16.

Szafnauer added the team had made arrangements to allow staff who could work from home to do so.

"We've also worked extremely hard over the last few weeks to ensure that all staff who can work from home have the equipment they need to set up home offices," he said.

"Our first concern at a time like this is the physical and mental wellbeing of our team-mates, their families and friends. We have everybody back home in the UK now and adjusting to this new reality – but it's certainly not easy for anybody.

"We're obviously disappointed not to be able to race for the foreseeable future but, ultimately, we all understand the significance of the situation.

"The challenges the world is currently facing are unlike anything I've known in my lifetime and clearly transcend the sport, so the decisions that have been made are the correct ones."
